KEY ACTION Council decided not to place a 2-mill, 5-year road and bridge levy on the March primary ballot. Council received a notice the village owed $2,245 to place the levy on the ballot, which is deducted from the village’s funds they receive. Council will wait until the November 2016 election to place a levy on the ballot.
